Why Python for statistics in experimental psychology?

R is a language dedicated to statistics. Python is a general purpose language with statistics module. R has more statistical analysis features than Python, and specialized syntaxes. However, when it comes to building complex analysis pipelines that mix statistics with e.g. image analysis, as in the case of brain imaging, the richness of Python is an invaluable asset.

Scipy lecture notes

The scipy lecture notes have a chapter on statistics in Python that is kept up to date and is a good complement to these notes for statistic topics not specific to experimental psyschology.
